GE JP660 Control Knobs, Radiant Surface Unit, Radiant Dual Surface Unit and Control Knob

CONTROL KNOBS

Radiant Surface Unit

The control for the radiant surface		OFF
unit can be set anywhere between LO	LO	HI
and HI for an unlimited number of
heat settings.With the infinite switch
the coil cycles on and off to maintain
your selected control setting.		MED

The control knob must be pushed in and turned from the OFF position. When the control knobs are in any position other than off, they may be turned without pushing down.

Be sure you turn the control knob off when you finish cooking. You will feel a “click” at the OFF position. Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures are high so be careful when touching the cooktop. The HOT SURFACE lights will remain lit after the surface unit is off until the surface is cool enough to touch.

Settings:

HI—Quick start for cooking; brings water to a boil.

Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and MED) Fast fry, pan broil; maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.

MED—Sauté and brown; maintains a slow boil on large amounts of food.

Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water in covered pan.

LO—Steam rice, cereal; maintains serving temperature of most foods. Slow cooking and simmering.

CAUTION: When the surface controls are turned off, the HOT SURFACE indicator light will remain lit until the cooktop surface has cooled to approximately 150°F. The glass ceramic surface will retain heat after the indicator light goes out. Use caution until the cooktop surface has had time to cool.

Radiant Dual Surface Unit and Control Knob

The right front radiant surface unit has 2 cooking sizes to select from so you can match the size of the unit to the size of the cookware you are using.

To use the large (9 inch) surface unit, turn the COIL SELECT knob clockwise to the position marked . Push in and turn the control knob to the desired setting. The unit will heat the entire area contained by the larger circle.

To use the small (6 inch) surface unit, turn the COIL SELECT knob counterclockwise to the position marked . Push in and turn the control knob to the desired setting. The unit will only heat the area inside the smaller circle.

Dual surface unit

Halogen Surface Unit

You may notice that the knob that		OFF
operates the halogen surface unit	LO	HI
is slightly harder to turn than the
knob for the radiant surface unit.
This is due to the difference in
design between the two controls.

NOTE:

•The lowest three settings will produce no visible evidence of the surface unit being on although up to 11% of the total wattage is being generated. On the lowest settings, the percentage of power may not cause the HOT SURFACE lights to light. An indicator light near the control knobs will glow when any surface unit is on.

•The surface UNIT ON light will glow for all positions except the off position.

8

The ten-position halogen control produces the following variation in cooking power.

Switch	Position	Brightness	Typical Heater
Settings		of Lamp	Power (%)
HI	10	Full	100
	9	High	76
	8	High	56
	7	Medium	41
	6	Medium	30
	5	Low	23
	4	Low	16
	3	Invisible	11
	2	Invisible	8
LO	1	Invisible	5
OFF	OFF	Invisible	0

•If the halogen/radiant cooktop is connected to 208 volts, you will notice some increase in cooking times.
